collar with pearls, or strands OF pearls
each shorter than the other.
The girls hold little conference, and
having settled q few minor matters, the
travelling dress is the next COnsidera-
ton. The madame, ever smiling,
takes down rolls of the various materials
suitable for the purpose. After looking at
homespuns, striped aud barred, cancels
hair, bengsline, the choice is made of olive
colored Henrietta cloth, to be made with
one skirt draped in front, appearing like
two; double panel on the left side, this
and the edge of the skirt to be trimmed
with rows OF narrow silk braid. Drapery
in the back; the jacket turns back, coat
fashion, with buttOnhOles on each side of
the lappels, and five medium sized but
tons set on each side from the bottom
bust, the jacket opening over a plsstron
of surah silk of lighter shades. The
sleeves, not very tig It, are finished with
e simulated button cuff, finished next the
hand by rows of the braid. With this
toilet there is q straw hat of the same
color, faced with velvet, trimmed with
piCOt-edged ribbon and feathers of the
same shade as the surah.
The cheeks of fisnCee are growing red
and there is look of WEAKNESS in her
bright eyes, but to her whispered protest
against farther work this morning the
shopping city friend replies: "Oh, you
must order the house dress now,
and then we will go to rs for lunch. A
little sigh and the selecting goes on.
The choice is fixed upon blue yelling,
to be trimmed with faille fraECaise and
rep ribbon two and half inches wide,
blue, with g feather edge of red. The
skirt is straight, three and q third yards
wide, bordered by two rows of the rib
bon. The long drapery is confined on
the left side and the back, the front edge
has revers of silk lined with foundation
and laid on in three pleats, the edge hav-
ing loops of the ribbon properly spaced
down the entire front. The Corsage is a
short basque which laps to one side and
is ornamented with fichu drapery of the
silk edged with ribbon loops as on the
skirt; the sleeves of medium length have
turned over cuffs OF silk, also trimmed
with loops. The fChu begins at the bust
line on the left and the right
laps over, extending to the bottom
of the basque on the left
side where it is finished by long loops
and ends of the ribbon.
Nothing more can tempt the tired
lassies. They HE away to the joys of
ices and CONNECTIONS, and Madame awaits
their return another morning for the ar
ranging of the needed costumes.
